wow okay i’m sorry that you find me so unsettling and hard to be around because i look almost exactly the same as i did before i died but something just isn’t quite right and my personality isn’t the same as i was in your (honestly pretty unfaithful and self centered!) memories of me and you’re kind of starting to regret raising me from the dead. as if it’s my fault 🙄
like aww did somebody think that everything would just go back to normal and nothing would change? is someone upset that they have to make an effort to get to know me as i am and not as i was? that must be so hard for you. well you know what they say, you can dig me up but you can’t just bury me again if you don’t like what you reanimated!
in general i would say that “it’s not fun if they’re totally unrecognisable” is my fandom thesis. like the point of fanfic etc is putting your favourite little guys in situations. where’s the appeal if they’ve been through so many fanon spin cycles that they’re barely even your guys anymore
loads of people are reblogging this like “this is why i don’t like AUs” and honestly this is not an anti AU post by any stretch of the imagination. if you think “alternate universe fic” = “completely unrecognisable characters” then love and light but you need to read some better AUs!! putting your little guys in a completely different setting or time period or making them baristas or racing drivers or pop stars or whatever doesn’t inherently render them unrecognisable and in fact the APPEAL of a well done AU fic is seeing how your favourite guys deal with a completely different set of circumstances. support your local wacky AU today x
the thing about putting phineas and ferb and fullmetal alchemist in a poll against each other is that theyre doing such fundamentally different things that it’s like asking someone if a table saw or a sewing needle is their favorite tool. like what am i trying to accomplish here. with that said, i think if phineas and ferb had been in amestris they would have handled it
ever since my gf and i moved in together a couple years ago i’ve been semi-regularly executing something i call a “prank night.” this is something you want to do frequently enough that it’s not a special occasion, but spontaneously enough to make it a prank. the set-up for a prank night is simple
listen to your partner and take note of a couple things she’s putting off doing, as well as a couple things she’s been wanting
wait for a day when your partner is out of the house for work or errands
tell them that you’ll be playing videogames/hanging out with the guys/doing very little all day. this way her guard will be down
now you can execute the four core aspects of the prank night
act of service. complete a chore or task that you know she’s been dreading. doing the dishes/cleaning the living room/making an appointment/doing the groceries, etc.
lil gift. flowers, chocolate, anything that you know she wants but hasn’t felt justified in getting for herself
sustenance. a charcuterie board, a homecooked meal, her favorite snack, or a fancy cocktail can all work
fourth, final, most important, when she gets home you sit her down and eat her out like she’s your last meal on death row
The Look On The Girlfriend’s Face Will Be Awesome!
Reflection from Mulan was so crazy she literally sang “If I were truly to be myself I would break my family’s heart” and 8 year old proto-gay me was like “I don’t know what you mean but I know what you mean”
